So you want to _add_ warnings to the tree, for code that still works and is 
still supported (in current versions, even if it may be removed from future 
ones)?

I dislike warnings.  I wouldn't mind the -werror flag to make the darn build 
break if it hits a warning, because it's either a real problem or it should 
shut up about it, and there's not a whole lot of middle ground there.

I especially dislike warnings that you're supposed to just ignore but can't 
shut up, since they make all other warnings useless.

This would be a "no", I think.
